Lyrics

(A)
I didn't think I'd be anyone
Oh mama how far I've come
Oh mama how far I've come
And I didn't think we'd go anywhere
(B)
Oh my darling au contraire
Oh my darling au contraire
(A)
I'll grow up and make someone a wife
Him and me we'll make us a life
And I'll freak out and cut off my hair
Brand new start I'll start it there
Didn't grow back for a few good years
Shed many tears, shed many tears
And I know that I shouldn't care
If people look what they see there
I know that I'm good inside
(C)
And if people don't I shouldn't mind
If people don't I shouldn't mind

(A)
Oh now mama how far I've come
I'm somebody and I love someone
I'm somebody and I love someone
And I feel the weight of a woman now
With iron bones and full of fire
And I could leave at any stage
But the weight of a woman tells me to stay
Weight of a woman tells me to stay

[I'm unsure about the ending - I think she alternates between strumming the
A-pattern and the last chords in part C. Otherwise, just strum the chords in
part C - it's not 100% correct but it sounds all right.]

Oh now mama how far I've come
I'm somebody and I love someone
Oh now mama how far I've come
I'm somebody and I love someone

The song ends with the last chords in part C, strummed.
